Hi Deborah,

If you would like an auto-signature, just type it here or PM me, and I will do it for you. Otherwise, I can simply tell you how to do it or both.

I may have a work around for you, although I am a bit confused. Please excuse me or forgive me if I am misunderstanding. But, wouldn't it be fairly easy to remember who the referral doctor was? Or to write it down. And, my referral list is at the top right. But, do you ever get another doctor referring that same patient to you.

Anyway, here is a workaround that may help. Especially if you don't send the progress note but just send the letter but either way.

In the CC Write: Consultation for Dr. John Smith.

Then when you save the note under Encounters for Bill Gates or whomever, there will be a list in chronological order of the notes. The top one will be the one you just signed off, and it will have the name of the referring doctor in the CC. And, after all, for you it would be the chief complaint. At that point, you could send your letter without leaving the window.
